“For the safety of my life..."

Pregnancy rumors have been swirling around Kylie Jenner and her sister Khloé Kardashian since late September, but they’ve been super quiet about the whole thing. In fact, the entire Kardashian-Jenner clan, known for being pretty open and forthright about their family drama, have kept any word of this rumor under pretty tight wraps.

And according to Kim, there’s a reason for that. On a recent visit to The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Kim revealed that there’s a family group chat where major secrets are discussed - and that she’d be in big trouble if she leaked any sensitive info to a talk show host.

“I'm going to break it down,” Kim said. “This is how we work in the family. When there are lots of rumors, we have this family group chat and we threaten each other's lives if we speak for the other one. For the safety of my life..."

Sounds pretty serious! Ellen tried to sweet talk Kim into sharing more, even reminding her that she’s Karla Kardashian, but it didn’t work. "We just decided there's so much that goes on that we respect each other's right to speak for themselves, so I will speak about myself,” said Kim, ever the media pro. “Hopefully, they can come on and address whatever rumors you might have." Kim was open about Baby West #3, a girl who is due via surrogate “soon.”

Matriarch Kris Jenner, as well as sisters Kourtney and Kendall, have also successfully evaded Ellen’s questioning, so it’s safe to say that nothing is getting through the tightly-guarded Kardashian-Jenner fam ... at least not this time.
